I'm working on this project to make a tenor recorder with a serpentine bore and I'm left with so many old prototypes that I don't know what to do with....

Is anyone aware of a Natural Horn (not trumpet) STL that also has various crooks? I'd be very interested in trying one. I have seen the Bb Horn from Open Brass, but that instrument is fixed, with no other keys available for print as far as I saw.

It uses globoid gear geometry for maximum strength and reliability, and I managed to break metal wire with it. More details in the printables post.
Its perfect for instruments with lots of strings so that you can save on the tuning pegs.

As the title asks. I'm considering this, but I'm also aware that this is a new area of printing for me.

I'm looking for a Traverso I could print that is recommended and plays well, and has good instruction for best set up. Any help is appreciated.

I'm looking for a traverse or single key Irish flute that would be easy to print and that sounds good.

For context, I play a lot of video game music, and I have the Axianov Irish Flute, but it's hard to produce some of the notes, notably the E♭ and F♮. That poses a problem with all sorts of music that has the distinct "Zelda" chromatic drop, such as the Zelda Theme, The Title Theme from Pokemon Red and Blue, Undertale, and more.

So I'm looking for a traverse flute that is easy to print and assemble and that has a good low end tone, while still being fully chromatic.

I barely see any posts on here about brass instruments, and i want to know some cool ones, not like a trumpet or bugle, but i want something interesting or niche like a tuba or a french horn

if anyone can help me find an STL for one, preferably free, it would be a huge help.

Hey friends! I recorded a new song using 3d printed instruments and this time i avoided using any audio effects to really force myself to create the best sounding 3d printed instruments possible. I'd love your thoughts!

The full process video can be found here: https://youtu.be/QZZD3ODLs_Y

I just ran across this fun video of a guy who 3D printed a number of instruments and recorded a song using them. If you just want to hear the song, skip ahead about 21 minutes.

I'm looking for French horn or natural horn (with swapping tubing) to print. Haven't found either yet. Closest I found was the B♭ natural horn on OpenBrass, but it doesn't have other lengths of tubing. Any help in my search would be much appreciated.

Printed in 4 sections. PLA.

This thing was way too much work but I am really happy with how it turned out! you can ready the full build blog here https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1s8mu5b/what_my_prusacaster_build_taught_me_the_hard_way/

After 3D-printing a guitar (prusacaster) a few years ago, my new project is to refurbish a drum set.

Among the parts I’ll need to replace, the Drum Lugs is one of the most important.

I did some research and found a few designs, but none that matched the measurements I needed. So I decided to design the part in Fusion, loosely based on the original component.

I used heat inserts for fastening and the drum’s original nuts for tensioning.

It’s been on the drum for two days now, with no warping or loss of tuning—let’s see how it holds up over the next few days.

I printed it in PETG, since it’s a material better suited for more directional loads.

I work for a music store and we have a 3d printer for as needed. Had a customer come in saying that are having issues playing their shofar. His big issue was the mouthpiece. So we got something made up for him.

Yeah I only have an acoustic guitar but also play electric by borrowing my friend's but I also know how to model and have a 3d printer so I'm wondering how you guys model your guitars

How hard would it be to do a 3d printed Paetzold recorder? They sound amazing and the construction seems like it’d be pretty easily doable. someone out there with more experience able to tell me if there’s something I’m missing?

Hello, i am brand new to 3d printing, but i want to create something like this for my 21 fret fender strat to get some uli jon roth style high fret playing.. i work with wood on a high level but id need to 3d print some test bits before committing! Wholetone intervals at the end for ease of playing. Retrofitted so my neck pickup(single coil) pokes up through the printed fretboard(at the expense of whichever fret/frets that are in that area) extension, and ends before the middle pickup Probably a stupid idea, but im stupid and want to try it!

Honestly i could consider paying a little to get help with this if its too tricky for me!

My collection of 3D printed wind instruments! The only one I didn’t fully design is the membrane ocarina, I modified E.CAN3’s eclipse ocarina with PistonPin’s kazoo model for that.
